Harry Kane is not letting his first-ever trophies sap his determination to achieve even more in the world of football.
“When you win a title maybe it could be easy to go the other way and be like: ‘OK I’ve done what I wanted to achieve,’ — But it’s given me motivation to do more,” the England captain explained in comments captured by @iMiaSanMia . “My numbers are 11km a game, a lot of high‑speed running. Sometimes when I’m watching the games back, I’m more looking forward to watching tackles or one of my
defensive actions than watching my goals back. I don’t know if that means I’m getting a little bit bored of my goals or like the tackling part as well but it’s been enjoyable.
“I was interested in how I would feel after winning a trophy. It could have been easy to be a bit more relaxed. I pushed myself the other way, being even better, eating even cleaner, doing more gym. I do eat clean anyway. It’s just whether the cheat meals after games are not so much, or when you’re out with the family not having as much ice cream. Small details, but at the highest level those make a big difference.”
Bayern fans are certainly no strangers to witnessing Kane getting after it to make a defensive intervention late in an already won game. The heart of a champion — and there is much more to come. Perhaps this hunger is a sign that Kane’s Bundesliga stay will be longer than originally anticipated.
